The question may be moot since the latest firmware doesn't turn on the focus confirmation dot with lenses adapted with the FTZ. Magnification (that means electronically zooming in, not using an ...

Focus peaking in the unmagnified view will not be good enough to get focus precisely because the peaking analysis is done in the resolution of the EVF. If you magnify to 100%, peaking is very useful.

It's almost certainly a reflection off her green shirt. You could flag (block) the light from hitting her shirt, but then the shirt would be darker, and perhaps become more noticeable than the ...

The lighting looks good to me, and the shadow under her chin doesn't stand out. I don't think it's a case of unmotivated light causing whatever issue there might be, and in fact the sun is ...

Kazuto Yamaki, the CEO of Sigma, is pretty active on Twitter. You could send him photos of your lens there, and see if he responds.

Agreed, set the initial focus point manually yourself. Don't rely on the camera to do it for you.

On the D850 and the Nikkor 60/2.8G Micro lens, I didn't have problems with the focus stacker starting too far in. You have to be aware of the closest point you want in focus, and start the camera ...

I'd recommend a video monopod too: that's a monopod with 3 little feet so it can stand on its own, but isn't as stable as a tripod. Manfrotto and iFootage are two companies that make them. If ...

Lee makes a similar product, and it may be easier to find in the EU. http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/colour-details.html#280

I have the 50% option turned on too, and it's to move the cursor more quickly across the screen.

Sharp shadows with no penumbra are caused by small light sources: the more closely a light source resembles a point of light, the sharper the shadow line will be. The distance of the surface from ...

Before I get into the long list of things below, the best way to do video is just to start with whatever you have. Shoot something: do a project, no matter how small. Your first results will ...

The LRMogrify's Background Canvas feature I mentioned earlier will force the 3x2 crop.

Do you have to do the crop on import? You can do it on export pretty easily with the LRMogrify plugin and using its Background Canvas option, then just save that to a custom export setting.

Thank you! I missed that link, and it's very helpful.

Thanks. That's good to know. So for the AD200, is there a way to use it with a reflector and an umbrella without using the S-mount bracket? For my small setup, I currently use Cactus RF60s which ...

Doesn’t the AD200 Pro come with an umbrella holder/ stand mount already? If you use the fresnel head, you basically get what you have with your speedlights (except at a fixed zoom setting) and the ...

It’s actually about 20MP in DX/S35 mode or about 1 stop more noise. The 1.5x crop factor is linear while the megapixel count is an area, so you need to divide by the crop factor twice. You can do ...

I've noticed that the focus rangefinder/meatball indicator doesn't show up anymore for chipped lenses (eg. Nikon 40/2.8 AI-P, 24 PC-E, Zeiss Milvus, etc.) lenses. The focus square still does turn ...
